Analyze the definition of the terms

• A nutrient is a substance taken in by the body that is used for energy, growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues.
• A molecule is a general chemical structure consisting of two or more atoms bonded together, which is too broad.
• A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy, not a physical substance.

Match the definition to the options

• The prompt describes an "ingested substance used by the body to produce energy and to provide building blocks for new molecules."
• This matches the biological definition of a nutrient.
